The bright flames exploded from the dragon's body, the shadowy tentacles burning in red wrapped around the dragon, ignited in yellow-orange flames, bursting apart into black motes.
The demon and the dragon slowly flapped their wings, levitating in the colourful sky, facing each other, dark clouds spreading around them.
'That is smart... burning shadows with hellfire to gain greater maneuverability of flames. But it must cost so much mana up here in the sky with very few shadows.' Vesuvius felt like it was similar to him using magma and steam to conduct electricity.
The demon's shadow body suddenly morphed, its left hand growing and turning into a large black mass of shadows brightly burning in red, its size easily larger than the whole dragon and demon put together. Its shape was twisted as a branch of an old tree, its fingers long and crooked, ending in claws of red flames.
